Mark McKenna in conversation

Church of All Nations, 180 Palmerston Street, Carlton

Mark McKenna’s new Quarterly Essay explores how Australia is on the brink of momentous change – but only if its citizens and politicians can come to new terms with the past.

Indigenous recognition and a new push for a republic await action. McKenna considers the frontier, the Anzac legacy and deep time. He brings some fascinating new scholarship into the light, and pushes the debate about history beyond the familiar polarities.

Join McKenna for a discussion about this inspiring essay and the issues it raises.
